Huawei Nova 10 Pro unveiled: a smartphone for selfie videos
With the new Nova 10 Pro, Huawei is appealing to all those who want to show off their front camera. The smartphone has two of them.
At IFA, Huawei presented the Nova 10 Pro and Nova 10, two smartphones that are very similar. The main differences are the display size and the two front cameras of the Pro version.
60 and 8 megapixels for better image quality
The main camera in the pill-shaped recess in the Nova 10 Pro's display has a resolution of 60 megapixels and a viewing angle of 100 degrees. The second camera with eight megapixels provides additional data. Huawei uses this for blurring in the background and speaks of a "DSLR-level effect". In addition, a zoom is possible for selfies from 0.7 to 5 times (digital) magnification - also for videos. With this, Huawei primarily wants to reach people who film themselves with the front camera. On most smartphones, the front cameras are inferior to the main cameras on the back - where, again, the display is missing for checking.
The Nova 10 Pro's OLED display measures 6.78 inches and has a resolution of 2652 × 1200 pixels. On the Nova 10, which only has a 60-megapixel front camera, it is only 6.67 inches. On both smartphones, the maximum refresh rate reaches 120 hertz.
The three cameras on the back of the smartphones are a main camera with 50 megapixels, an ultra-wide-angle camera with eight megapixels and a lens for additional depth of field information.
Huawei equips the smartphone with the Snapdragon 778G as well as eight gigabytes of RAM. The internal memory is 256 gigabytes. EMUI 12 is used as the operating system, which is based on the open-source version of Android and has no Google services on board.
The 4500 mAh battery can be quickly charged via the power adapter included in the scope of delivery. On the Nova 10 Pro, it reaches 100 per cent in about 20 minutes with up to 100 watts. With the Nova 10, a full charge takes about 38 minutes with a 66-watt power supply.
Price and availability
Huawei has not yet revealed when exactly the Nova 10 Pro and Nova 10 will be available, nor has it given any official pricing information.
When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
